I've always wanted to catch one real big fish, a 14' fish or so and now I'm starting to second guess that....
I didn't get an official legnth on this fish. I'm going to say he was real close to the 9' mark.....which was smaller than I thought he was going to be.

Question: When you battle the beast and the go "belly up surrender" how long does it take to let them get their steam back? Do you just keep them horizontal and wait or do they swim away as soon as you flip em?
Would love a trip down to the big C for some oversized.

They don't exactly go "belly up surrender". If you roll them on their back, they just seem to relax and not fight it. They all are a bit different as how long they need to recover. Usually they let you know when you get a face full of water. :chuckle:

Some of you may know this guy.......I'm not sure he appreciates that I told him he kind of has the Chris Farley look going on in this last pic :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
We ended up catching 4 total, 2 smaller fish between 5-6 feet and these two hogs.....

Wish I could fid the picture of my grandfather fishing on the Snohomish river for sturgeon to post here. From the 1920's using a horse for a pole and still calves for bait! Thing was huge.
